Payra Bridge, Road bridge in Patuakhali, Bangladesh

The Payra Bridge extends 1,690 meters across the Payra River, featuring a 1,000-meter main span with segmental pre-stressed box girders and a 690-meter viaduct.

Construction of the bridge commenced in 2014 after decades of dependence on ferry services, marking a significant infrastructure development in southern Bangladesh.

The bridge connects the regions of Patuakhali and Barisal, integrating communities that were previously separated by the natural barrier of the Payra River.

By 2047, the bridge will accommodate approximately 33,976 vehicles daily, replacing the ferry system that previously caused delays exceeding 90 minutes.

The structure incorporates a health monitoring system that detects natural phenomena including lightning strikes and seismic activities affecting the bridge.
